Chapter Twenty-Seven: Hiding Behind the Door
CHAPTER XXVII
A sparrow is chirping around under the eaves, constantly circling the eaves of the window, and then flapping its wings and flying down on the eaves to stretch its wings, and from time to time it gently shakes the feathers on its wings, and keeps carefully combing its precious feathers with its beak. Outside the courtyard, a black-striped cat jumped to the eaves of the doorhouse along the old locust tree in front of the door, only to see it quietly hiding in the corner of the eaves of the door, staring at the little sparrow that was combing its feathers on the eaves in the distance......
Hearing the chirping of sparrows outside, Xie Shuyao, who was asleep on the table, opened her somewhat heavy eyelids, and the left side of her face was still a little numb from sleeping, and slowly raised her somewhat dizzy head, and saw the bright light outside the window. - Well, it's dawn?
Xie Shuyao, who was not fully awake yet, seemed to realize that something was wrong - it was dawn! Xie Shuyao, who had just woken up from the haze, felt like five thunderbolts, looking out the window, the sky was already bright, Xie Shuyao really wanted to give herself two big ear scrapers, oh my God, she planned to pick the lock and escape last night, why did she fall asleep on the table!
After knocking on her head a few times, she remembered that she planned to pry the door and escape last night after her parents and others went to sleep, but after waiting for a while, she couldn't resist the surging sleepiness.
Thinking of this, Xie Shuyao, who was very distressed, bit her lower lip angrily, and rubbed her hair violently to vent, she now hates herself for sleeping and ruining her plans.
After venting, Xie Shuyao drooped her head and looked at herself in the mirror in front of the dressing table, with a hairstyle that was ravaged into a chicken nest by herself, and a large bruise on her left cheek? Xie Shuyao thought that the tingling pain on his face was pressed during sleep, but Xie Shuyao touched it with his hand, and the tingling sensation began to spread rapidly on his cheeks.
Hearing a burst of movement outside, Xie Shuyao carefully opened a crack in the window and saw his father coming out of the study with the lecture notes for class, and the father seemed to notice his daughter's voyeurism, and his eyes were curiously cast on the window of his daughter's room.
Seeing his father come over, Xie Shuyao hurriedly and gently closed the crack in the window, what should I do now? Xie Shuyao was as restless as an ant on a hot pot.
Knock Knock Knock β
"Yaoyao, are you up?" With the sound of knocking on the door, Father Xie's voice sounded at the door.
Xie Shuyao, who was startled by this sudden knock on the door, was so frightened that she hurriedly squatted down and hid beside the table, holding her breath and not daring to answer.
"Yaoyao?" Father Xie's voice sounded again.
It is estimated that Xie's father thought that his daughter in the house had not woken up yet, so he left after calling twice.
Hearing the footsteps of his father leaving, Xie Shuyao, who was squatting and hiding at the table, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She got up and crept to the door, trying to find a place to look through the crack in the door, but unfortunately the quality of this door was too good, and Xie Shuyao did not find a suitable crack in the door.
Just when Xie Shuyao wanted to turn around and go to the window, there was a sound of miscellaneous footsteps in the distance outside the door.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer to him, Xie Shuyao stuck his back against the lime wall behind the door, and didn't dare to move until the footsteps passed.
"Not awake yet? It's all at this point, this girl should wake up, is she pretending to be asleep? Xie Mu's voice came from outside the door.
"I guess I'm still sleeping!" Father's voice.
Chirp β a rush of birds came from the rooftop.
Meow - cat meow? Xie Shuyao sounded like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail.
"Dead cat, get out of the way...... Hans brought me the broom," Xie Shuyao frowned and listened to her mother's voice outside the door.
Meow - Xie Shuyao heard a cat's scream.
"Alas, you can't feed this thing...... Alright, give me the key, and I'll open the door. Xie Shuyao heard that his father was going to open the door, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, and his palms, which had been holding the corners of his clothes tightly, were already sweating a lot.
Squeak β
Xie Shuyao, who was hiding behind the door, closed her eyes tightly, tightened her feet against the wall, and felt the door pressing over a little bit, Xie Shuyao tried to tighten her chest, but the door was still bounced out a little by her body, and after hearing the door make a "squeak", Xie Shuyao was even more nervous in her heart and kept praying not to be discovered, holding her breath and not daring to move. Opening his eyes slightly, Xie Shuyao saw that his feet were a little outward, and slowly moved his feet in quietly.
ββ¦β¦ Well? It's not going to run again. Father Xie wondered.
"Yingchang, can you go and see if the windows are still locked?" Xie Mu said.
Behind the window and the door where he was hiding was on the same wall, if you came to check the window, it would be easy to find yourself Xie Shuyao began to hesitate whether to run away from the door now, or wait until he was found out and then escape from the door.
"I just looked at it, the windows are locked. This girl should still be in the house, right? Hearing that his father didn't have to come over to check the window again, Xie Shuyao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mom, could it be ......" Why is Hans here? Xie Shuyao secretly prayed in her heart not to be discovered.
When Xie Shuyao was praying in his heart, a person suddenly appeared in front of him, and Xie Shuyao's eyes were a little flustered and looked at Hans who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Hans didn't expect that he would find his sister's hiding place so easily, and he also looked at his sister with a shocked face, seeing his sister looking at him with a look of resentment, Xie Hans said with a little cry and laughter: "I didn't expect you to really hide here." β
"What are you doing behind the door?" At this time, Xie's mother slammed the door open, and saw her daughter leaning against the wall behind the door, Xie's mother was very angry and asked her daughter.
Xie Shuyao lowered her head and was silent, and secretly gave her mother a roll of her eyes, does this ridiculous question still need to be answered? It's really naΓ―ve, Xie Shuyao thought with some resentment.
"Say two words to you, what kind of attitude do you have?" Mother Xie was very angry and pointed at her daughter and said angrily.
"Okay, Yiya, I have something to tell you, I want her to calm down and think about it in the house." Father Xie dragged his wife and persuaded him.
Mother Xie glanced at her husband dissatisfied, then turned her head and pointed at her daughter with her finger in the air, and said coldly: "You'd better think about it for me now, and I'll come back to you later." β
Seeing that his parents were leaving, and Hans was still in his room and did not go out, Xie Shuyao viciously set his eyes on the traitor Hans.
Hans, who couldn't stand this terrible look, laughed miserably and escaped from his sister's room, Hans, who had just escaped from his sister's room, heard the sound of the door slamming behind him, and looked at the door of his sister's room that had been tightly closed, Xie Hans sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and let out a long sigh.
Father Xie took his wife to the back room, hesitated for a moment, but still frowned and said, "Don't you really plan to tell Yaoyao about that matter?" β
"Say what you say, after you say it, can we still control her in the future?" Xie Mu said undeniably.
Father Xie didn't seem to give up, and after a moment of silence, he continued: "Didn't you say that she already knew? β
Xie Mu was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "I don't know where she learned about these things, this is not in a hurry...... So, I'll talk to her later, and then we'll talk about it later. β
Father Xie nodded, looked at the door and sighed, then picked up a cup of tea and handed it to his wife, saying, "When you go to talk to the child in a while, don't be angry with the child, sit down and talk about it." β
After taking a sip of tea, hearing her husband persuade her not to be angry, Xie's mother directly rolled her eyes to Xie Yingchang, and said angrily: "You think I want to be angry with her, you look at what she looked like just now, how much she hates me in her eyes, where did I provoke her, why did she look at me like that?" β
"Okay, you can take another sip of tea to quench your anger. You said that you too, how did you beat her like that yesterday, you see that her face is about to swell into steamed buns today, I feel distressed when I look at it, if she doesn't have a little resentment towards you, I don't believe it. Father Xie explained slowly.
Thinking of the swollen half of her daughter's face, Mother Xie didn't feel good in her heart, but she still said toughly: "Didn't you see her arrogance yesterday, she was angry with me all the time, and she said that she wanted to cut off relations with this family, do you think I can not be angry, I can't wait to beat her to death yesterday, how did I raise such a white-eyed wolf." β
Xie Yingchang put down the teacup and said with a wry smile: "Okay, you can really beat her to death, you are both angry, eh." That goes like that, oh yes, a boiled duck β a hard mouth. If you beat her to death, her mouth can make you half angry. β
Mother Xie put down the teacup, gave Father Xie a roll of her eyes, got up and said: "I try not to be angry with her, you don't sit and drink tea anymore, you and Hans go to the hospital to see your father and your eldest brother, there are so many things at home, you and the second sister-in-law will talk to them, I won't go to the hospital in the past two days, let them take care of it more." β
"Are you walking home alone?" Father Xie was a little worried.
